Remember the glory days when The Kooks were smashing out hit records left, right and centre? If you’re struggling then join the club.

It seems like an age since I first listened to Inside In/Inside Out, and obviously times have changed for the Brighton based band. Surprisingly the 4-piece are only just about to release their third studio album Junk of the Heart, and steadily we are building up a better picture of what it will sound like.

Listen to two cuts, Is It Me? and Junk of the Heart (Happy) below:
